The KA+ is our big new small car

June 8, 2016

Big on space, fun and technology – the KA+ is our new five-seater car.

Taller than our popular Fiesta small car, the KA+ has more legroom for rear passengers than any other car of its size – and enough space for two large suitcases in the boot.

It is available with our Ford SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system, as well as a handy dock for storing, mounting and charging smart phones and navigation systems.

The KA+ is designed to be fun to drive and is offered with a new 1.2-litre engine, which can be specified as 70 PS or 85 PS.

“Choosing a compact car should not mean having to compromise,” said Darren Palmer, small car vehicle line director, Ford of Europe.
All KA+ models get power front windows and door mirrors, remote central locking and a safety system with six airbags. Models go on sale this month, starting from £8,995.
